Tesla Motors' Jonathan Sobel. What Exactly Did He Do For/To Geeknet (LNUX) Before Abruptly Jumping Ship to Tesla?

1

Sobel's first substantive act in creating LNUX shareholder value was his controversial / questionable giving away / transfer (1,2,3,4) of Linux.com to The Linux Foundation announced March 3rd 2009.Sobel's next move was his acquisition of ohloh.net announced May 28th 2009 (5,6,7,8,9,10).

But then events appear to get strange as reported here on July 10th, 2009 ref/ "SourceForge (LNUX) CFO Continues Dumping Position, Group Media President Joins on Eve of Announcing Q2 CC" (11).

And then at the July 30th Conference Call for Q2 ending June 30, 2009 there was no disclosure that Jonathan Sobel was leaving the company (12) in light of Jonathan's Sobel's abrupt August 30th announcement of his resignation nor joining Tesla Motors* (13, 13a), which he certainly was aware of less than thirty days prior.

(see above footnotes 1,2,3,4) given Geeknet management has consistently and incomprehensibly failed in not only [not] creating shareholder value from these hugely(1.) substantive assets(2.) but has actually destroyed LNUX shareholder value (3.).

The other obvious question is why did Jonathan Sobel acquire ohloh.net, another failed open source company, on the heels of donating away Linux.com and not engineer a ThinkGeek IPO and then dumps LNUX shares on the effective eve of an earnings announcement, and then bails to Tesla to engineer [their] IPO???...in the meantime shareholder hostile LNUX persists with its continuing patterns of no news, still has up its Christmas-themed website, still has a non-working iPhone application yet is available for download at the App Store. tbc...
